Abstract

Hyperuricemia is usually associated with other comorbidities; so it is difficult to distinguish the effects of hyperuricemia from other coexisting comorbidities in patients who suffer a stroke. Data for this study were collected from the patients of Kangjian Community Health Center of Shanghai. Selected participants ≥65 years of age were available at enrollment (2009-2013). Subjects were excluded if they had hypertension, diabetes mellitus, pre-existing cardiovascular disease, or hyperlipidemia. Further, patients who were overweight or obese, had gout or drug-treated hyperuricemia, or had chronic kidney disease were also excluded. Cox regression was used in order to assess the hazard ratio (HR) for the incidence of stroke events between hyperuricemic and normouricemic patients. A total of 3243 subjects without comorbidities (70.8 ± 6.0 years) were followed for 35.5 ± 3.0 months. Hyperuricemia conferred increased cumulative incident stroke events (6.9 versus 3.1%, odds ratio [OR] = 2.27, 95% confidence index [CI] 1.52-3.37, p < 0.001). Male and female hyperuricemic subjects also showed a significantly higher incident stroke incidence than normouricemic subjects (6.1 versus 2.7%, OR = 2.34, 95% CI 1.31-4.18, p = 0.003 and 7.6 ver...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
